Chapter 87: The twelfth lunar new year

In the morning, thousands of mountains are covered with snow, and the sky is full of flying stars.

It’s the twelfth lunar month of the year again, and every household prays for the New Year.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, a time when the whole people are celebrating the Little New Year.

On this day, people from all over the country put up Spring Festival couplets at home, cut window grilles, and worshiped the Kitchen God in a lively and solemn way.

According to legend, every year on this day, the Kitchen God will go to the heaven to report the good and evil deeds of each family to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor can reward and punish them. Therefore, when delivering stoves, people would place stove candies and other tributes on the table in front of the Stove God statue.

So that the mouth of the Kitchen God can be glued with kitchen candy to prevent God from criticizing him for his merits and demerits.

Therefore, this day is also called the "Zao Festival".

Lu Chengfeng grew up in Biyun Valley since he was a child. Although his disciples would worship the Kitchen God every year on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, it was not half as lively as the one in Beijing City.

Today, since Lu Chengfeng got up early in the morning, he has watched the palace people in the West Mansion busy with each other, killing chickens and sheep, sweeping the floor and cleaning the windows, pasting Spring Festival couplets, and cutting window grilles...

In this lively and joyful festive atmosphere, let the road to the wind also follow the mood and smile.

By noon, the entire Mianwang West Mansion was already bright and clean, with a completely new look, just waiting for the joyful arrival of the Spring Festival.

The new Spring Festival couplets were pasted on every door lintel in the West Mansion, exuding the elegant and lively fragrance of ink.

The newly posted window grilles are even more exquisite. Each window grille is cut lifelike, with its own allusions, and there are many patterns, such as magpies climbing plum blossoms, swallows flying to peach willows, two dragons playing with pearls, three Yang Kaitai, Liu Yue spring, phoenix

Wear peonies...

What attracted Lu Chengfeng's attention the most was the eight long tables of offerings and delicacies.

On the long altar table, there were more than a dozen different flavors of Guangzao Candy! Lu Chengfeng was dazzled when he saw it, and he was amazed.

"Wow! This is delicious! This is delicious too!"

Lu Chengfeng walked back and forth among the colorful dishes of stove candies, stuffing a large amount of stove candies into his mouth, and not forgetting to praise them.

The palace people looked at his greedy and innocent appearance, and he was really a fifteen-year-old boy, not at all like His Majesty the Imperial Grandson who usually spoke in the palace.

"His Royal Highness, please be careful, don't choke." Jin Buhuan looked on and laughed.

"That's right, the ceremony to worship the Kitchen God hasn't even started yet, and it's almost eaten up by you, a living god."

Xiaodie rolled her eyes at Lu Chengfeng and said angrily.

"Uh..." Before Xiaodie could finish her words, Lu Chengfeng had already let out a long belch.

Everyone laughed when they heard the sound.

"Eating so many candies, you won't be afraid of losing your teeth!" Xiao Die spoke sharply and said again.

"You girl! You are quite sharp with your mouth. How about your hands and feet? Why don't you hurry up and go to work again? Hurry up and go to work!"

"

Lu Chengfeng gently pushed Xiaodie's head with his finger and said arrogantly, with a smile on his face.

He has loved sweets the most since he was a child, but unfortunately when he was in Biyun Valley, Zhui Feng always wanted to compete with him.

It's rare that he is alone in Prince Mian's West Mansion today. Why don't you hurry up and eat sweets until you're full, eat until you're full, eat until you're full, and eat until the universe is turned upside down?

"Forehead……"

Lu Chengfeng patted his belly with satisfaction and let out another long belch.

The happiness brought by sweets almost overflowed from his body.

Today this is truly the best candy I have ever tasted!

Those sugars in the 21st century that are adulterated with too many flavors and colorings are simply incomparable to this original, pure, natural and pollution-free product!

These kitchen candies are much more delicious than those from Biyun Valley! My life for the first fifteen years was simply in vain!

It would be great if Zhui Feng was here! Let him come to my house to try it and keep it. He will eat it happily and not miss Shu, he will be as happy as a god!

Alas! It’s a pity that Zhui Feng is not here!

Why don't you give some to Brother Jingmo to try, good brothers will share the blessings!

Lu Chengfeng thought about it, and poured the whole plate of stove sugar that Xiaodie had just filled into his sleeve, and ran away triumphantly.

The angry Xiaodie stomped her feet behind him, but she could only stare.

"Where are you going, little grandson? You have to personally preside over the stove ceremony today?"

Butler Jin had no choice but to stretch his neck and shout anxiously from behind at the top of his voice.

"You do it for me! If that's not enough, let Niu Sambo act as me!"

Without looking back, Lu Chengfeng raised his arms above his head and made a gesture of bye, leaving only the elegant back view of the palace people in the West Mansion.

"Brother Jingmo, are you offering sacrifices?"

Lu Chengfeng emerged from the Jingzhao Mansion at some unknown moment, and suddenly appeared in front of Wu Jingmo, bringing a chill outside.

Seeing him kneeling, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but grab a handful of stove candy from the white porcelain plate on the table and stuff it into his mouth.

"Well, your candies are not as delicious as mine!"

While Lu Chengfeng was commenting, he chewed the handful of stove candy in his mouth.

"Bah! Ouch, my teeth are about to fall apart! Brother Jingmo, where did you buy the candy? Why is it so hard! Is this still a stove candy? You must never come to his house again in the future. Really

What a shady store owner! I’m going to give him a bad review! Bah!”

I saw that he had not chewed a few mouthfuls, but he spit it all out, and kept muttering disgust in his mouth.

Wu Jingmo and Wu Renzhong were still kneeling at attention in front of the table.

Wu Renzhong, who had always been serious about it, looked at it and blew his beard and stared.

Wu Jingmo, however, suppressed his laughter and winked at him vigorously.

The look in his eyes was like an ugly eye roll. Lu Chengfeng wanted to laugh even more after looking at it, so he smiled happily and said:

"Hi! Brother Jingmo, I brought you a lot of candies! They are much more delicious than the ones you have at home! Get up and try them! If I lied to you, I would be a puppy!"

As Lu Chengfeng spoke, he took out a large handful of colorful stove candies from his sleeve and placed them on the table in front of Wu Jingmo.

The Wu family's stove sacrificial ceremony was not over yet when Lu Chengfeng interrupted it.

Wu Jingmo had no choice but to stand up, picked up Lu Chengfeng's collar and dragged him out.

"Hey, hey! Mr. Wu! You are a scholar, so you have to pay attention to your image! When did you become so rude? You must have been led astray by Na Tian Zifang! He has only been here for one day, and he has taught you a bad way.

, let’s see if I don’t help you cut him!”

Lu Chengfeng kicked his legs and shouted loudly.

But I heard a familiar voice sounding from behind:

"Who's talking bad about me?"

Lu Chengfeng hurriedly looked back and saw that he could hardly drink cold water without clenching his teeth, scolding whoever got caught!

I saw the person coming with the wind and snow whistling outside the door. As soon as he entered the door, he began to take off his armor, shaking off the colorful white snow on the ground.

The man raised his head and laughed, very happy!

That's right, the person coming is none other than Tian Zifang!

"Brother Tian! Oh! It's really you! You've only been here for a day, and you're already the leader of the soldiers? Awesome, awesome!"

Lu Chengfeng glanced at the armor pattern on his body and quickly flattered him, trying to make up for his mistake just now.

"Everywhere, it's all thanks to Mr. Wu!"

Tian Zifang said and bowed to Wu Jingmo.

Immediately, he turned to Lu Chengfeng, patted his chest proudly, and said with a smile:

"Master Wu arranged for me to be their little leader. Originally, the small group of soldiers were still not convinced! However, I beat them to the ground after three strikes, five divided by two, haha, no one dares to be unconvinced! Now

Everyone is rushing to learn kung fu from me!"

“Brother Tian’s skills make him a general, I think!”

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows at Tian Zifang and smiled.

"Hahahaha, if I really become a general in the future, I will definitely invite you to that wine fairy house and drink for three days and three nights without stopping!"

As soon as he put on this tall hat, Tian Zifang smiled even louder and bolder.

"It's a deal!" Lu Chengfeng patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Then you can't leave me out!" Wu Jingmo also joined the crowd of people holding high hats.
